Baby hand, foot and mouth disease indigestion

If a baby has indigestion after contracting hand, foot and mouth disease, it may be because the baby's appetite decreases due to hand, foot and mouth disease, and the food intake is relatively less, causing indigestion. It may also be because the virus causes acute gastroenteritis in the body, causing the baby to have symptoms of indigestion. It can be treated through dietary adjustment, drug treatment, isolation measures, etc.

1. Diet adjustment: The diet should be light and easy to digest. You can give your baby porridge, noodles, noodle soup, etc. At the same time, pay attention to drinking more warm water, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as rapeseed, apples, etc., and eat small meals frequently to avoid giving your baby too much food at one time, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract;

2. Drug treatment: If the baby's hand, foot and mouth disease indigestion symptoms are more obvious, you can use digestive drugs under the guidance of a doctor, such as Jianwei Xiaoshi oral liquid, Shenqu Xiaoshi oral liquid, etc. If the baby has obvious symptoms such as abdominal distension and diarrhea, you can use drugs to improve intestinal flora as prescribed by the doctor, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus triple live bacteria tablets, etc. You can also use digestive drugs such as multi-enzyme tablets, yeast tablets, etc. If the baby has a fever and the axillary temperature exceeds 38.5°C, you can use antipyretic drugs such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc. as prescribed by the doctor;

3. Isolation measures: Hand, foot and mouth disease is contagious and needs to be isolated after infection. The main transmission route of hand, foot and mouth disease is through close contact, so pay attention to isolating the baby. In addition, pay attention to keeping the baby's skin clean and dry to reduce the probability of secondary skin infection;

4. Others: Most babies with hand, foot and mouth disease can recover on their own after 1-2 weeks. During this period, you should pay attention to your baby's diet and mental state. If your baby has obvious symptoms such as high fever, poor spirit, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., you need to seek medical attention in time and receive antipyretic and antidiarrheal treatments under the guidance of a doctor.
